So I'm a sheep.

I surrender.

"..."

Seeing the three robbers kneeling and begging for mercy, the little girl walked over with a speechless expression.

"You guys are so incompetent, how dare you come out and rob people?"

"Sir, if we don't find something to eat and go back soon, my child will starve to death."

The leader burst into tears, crying, "We didn't mean to kill you, please spare us this time!"

Seeing a grown man crying like this, Aran suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.

"Lady Sasha..."

“Ah Ran, you can’t soften your heart just because your enemy says a few words.”

The little girl pointed at the man who was crying and begging for mercy: "He's saying nice things now, but who knows what he's really thinking?"

“This kind of person has definitely robbed before, and many innocent people may have lost their lives at his hands.”

"In my opinion, you should just chop these scoundrels up with an axe."

"No!"

Unexpectedly, this chubby girl with wings was so ruthless that the robbers were terrified.

"Although we've committed robberies a few times, we would never dare to kill anyone!"

“We only fight over food... uh, I really wanted this axe so badly that I made an exception and tried to snatch it.”

"I'm a good person! If you don't believe me, go ask around in our village. Everyone always praises me!"

"You still have a base of operations?"

The little girl stroked her chin and thought for a moment: "Come on, take us over to see it."

"..."

All three of them hesitated, but in the end, it was the man in the lead who spoke.

"I can take you there, but..."

"Trying to negotiate with me at a time like this? Let's go!"

The man was about to say something when, to his horror, he found his body moving involuntarily.

"Witchcraft, sorcery!"

"My lord wizard, our village is just ahead."

"Please, please don't turn our fellow villagers into frogs!"

"..."

I've said it several times, but these guys just won't believe me.

"Run!"

Suddenly, a man ran desperately toward the village, shouting as he ran, "The wizard is coming! The wizard is coming!"

"Run, everyone! An evil wizard has come to our village!"

An evil wizard?

Upon hearing this, Sasha showed a thoughtful expression.

It seems that wizards have a terrible reputation in this world.

"Are you the village chief?"

Looking at the man with a bitter face and the group of elderly and weak people following behind him, Sasha sighed and asked.

"Witch, wizard, I am the village chief."

"I'm not a wizard. Do you see the wings on my back?"

The little girl's pair of snow-white wings fluttered: "Remember, girls with wings like me are angels!"

"Angel......"

The village chief stared at the little girl for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh right, the priest mentioned it."

"A woman with snow-white wings like you must be an angel!"

The man with the oval face breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great, it's not an evil wizard, but a kind angel."

"Not good at all"

"I'm asking you, are these two guys behind me, and that man who ran into the village shouting nonsense, all of them from your village?"

"Yes, they're from our village."

"Do you realize they're robbing passersby like robbers?"

The girl's tone turned cold: "Or are you saying that you were behind all of this!"

"..."

"It's all my fault."

“I am willing to go to church with you to confess my sins. These three are the pillars of our village. Please, please forgive them this once.”

As soon as the village chief with the bitter face said this, the children following behind him immediately burst into tears.

The old people sighed and groaned, and several women kept wiping away tears.

'What's going on? You're making me sound like a wicked angel.'

................................................

The little girl was a bit depressed. She looked at the village chief and asked, "How come your village is so miserable? Even the pillar of the village has run away to become a bandit?"

"That's just how it is, there's nothing we can do about it."

The village chief, with a bitter face, looked even more miserable: "If we wait any longer, the villagers will starve to death before the crops in the fields even grow."

"They didn't want to steal other people's food, it's just that..."

Listening to the village chief's story, the little girl couldn't help but show sympathy on her face.

The reason why this village has fallen into such a miserable state can be traced back to the war that broke out between the two countries when Duke Wood had just come to power.

In the early to mid-stages of the war, Moonwave forced Nist to retreat in defeat.

The Moonlit Army marched straight in, their objective clear: to capture Duke Wood's castle, take him prisoner, and bring Nester back into the kingdom's embrace.

Unfortunately, this village was located on the only road leading to Duke Wood's castle, so the Moonlit Army naturally didn't treat them kindly. Not only did they levy grain, they also kidnapped all the able-bodied men in the village.

In the end, although Duke Wood drove Yue Lan's army out of the country, not a single able-bodied man from the village returned.

Without young people, the village declined day by day.

Most of the village children grow up and go elsewhere to make a living on their own. The only young people willing to stay in the village are the three bandits and their families.

"They struggled for a long time before becoming bandits, and all three of them assured me!"

"Once they get through this most difficult period, they will farm properly and start anew."

"..."

Seeing everyone staring at her expectantly, the little girl sighed.

"I understand your difficulties, but it's never right to be a robber."

"We can choose not to take them to church, but necessary punishment is still required."

..........................................................

"Lady Sasha, I wonder if those three people will understand your good intentions after they wake up."

On the way out of the village, Aran said with emotion, "Although you made them turn the soil all night, they were all exhausted and passed out in the end."

"But by making the crops on that land grow overnight, you truly saved that village."

"There was no special reason behind it; I just wanted to do it, so I did it."

"By the way, Lady Sasha, you chatted with the village chief for quite a while before you left. What did you talk about?"

"I asked them about some things that had happened in their village in the past few years, and finally came to a conclusion."

"Oh?"

Aran looked at the little girl curiously: "What conclusion did you draw?"

"The root cause of the village's decline was the war, but Duke Wood and the church were not entirely without responsibility."

The little girl said in a deep voice, "After the war, the village chief went to Wood's castle and begged him to find a way to save his village."

"Wood was holding a victory celebration at the time. After learning about this, he didn't even see the village chief. He had his soldiers beat him up and drive him out of the castle."

The village chief must have been quite old when the war just ended.

If he gets a severe beating, wouldn't he lose half his life?

Thinking of this, Aran felt a pang of sadness.

"Lady Sasha, what does the village's decline have to do with the church?"

Even in a village that's barely surviving, there's still money to be made.

The little girl shook her head and didn't continue.

"..."

Seeing the heavy atmosphere, Sasha quickly changed the subject.

"Aran, I think you have the potential to become a knight."

"Eh"
